Blake Lively's lawyers are demanding to exclude the testimony of a journalist whose 2016 interview with the actress went viral before their client heads to trial against It Ends With Us costar Justin Baldoni. Lively's legal team claims entertainment reporter Kjersti Flaa's "sole connection to this litigation" is posting the interview "one day after" It Ends With Us hit theatres on August 9, 2024, according to a new motion filed on April 11. People was first to report the news.
